Opinions wanted! Rear air springs or coil/shock?

The e53 with air felt tighter in the twisties but I can def go faster in the e70 with the springs 35% more HP and torque.

More body roll but softer ride it's an ok trade off.

The third to last is prob my favorite. It was snowing out so I wasn't pushing too hard but that's a very fun road.

The air springs are firmer. It was very noticeable on wife's e70 vs. mine. And on our e53 as well (role was reversed I had air in the e53 she had springs).

Once you get into a tight turn it locks in and you can power though the curves regardless coil or air.

I was very happy to have the air in the e53 and I'm about equally happy I accidentally ended up with coil on the e70.
